About Aboriginal Law

Aboriginal law refers to an area of law under the Canadian legal framework, which is reflective of Canada’s colonial history as it relates to Indigenous peoples, including the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the Indian Act.

Indigenous law refers to the laws and legal systems of Indigenous nations, which exist separate and apart from the Canadian legal system except to the extent they’ve been incorporated into Canadian law.

Aboriginal title is a legal interest in land held collectively by an Indigenous people. It includes the right to decide how the land will be used and the right to benefit from those uses.

Aboriginal rights are substantive, legal rights related to the practices and traditions that form an integral part of the way of life of an Indigenous people.

Treaty rights are established legal rights set out in formal agreements between the Crown and Indigenous peoples and protected by the Canadian Constitution.
